Professor Catherine Villanueva Gardner specializes in feminist philosophy, especially ethics, epistemology, and the retrieval of forgotten historical women philosophers. Her most recent book (PSU Press, 2012) explores whether there is a distinctive feminist approach to the history of philosophy. Her first book (Westview, 2003) examines why women philosophers have been excluded from the philosophical canon. Gardner was also invited to write a reference work, (Scarecrow, 2006). In addition, Gardner has published articles in journals and edited collections.
